So sorry to hear about Lynn’s passing. He was a man of dignity and grace… a gentle soul and a true craftsman. I greatly admired the courage he had in dealing with the cards life had played him.

Yes... Pete used an oversized bar. To my recollection it was a bit larger than 1".

Veritas...

Pete at his best, IMHO.
Greg Harris' "Star Of The Show"

Not exactly sure, but definitely some kind of fuzz

Yes, that was Pete’s only guitar. He may have owned others, but that was the one he always played. He refinished - or I should say redecorated - it a few times, once with pink and black lace, callin ...

I sure don't remember a small shop like that on 3rd.
Just east of La Cienega on 3rd was the Record Plant Studios...on the south side of Third.

Before he moved to Riverside, Blackie's store was in ...

Sorry to hear about Bruce's passing. I met him a few years ago at the Phoenix show...we hung out a bit.
Cool guy...sorry I didn't get to know him better..
Condolences to his friends & family.

I've played a couple gigs & sessions with Al, and almost always used a Risson amp...with no reverb.
Always sounded awesome.

Classic SoCal country rock solo.
FWIW, it was played on a ZB, and Ed had his steel set up Day.

A good friend, sorely missed...

Very cool, Frank. Ray sure is missed at the shows these days. Thanks for posting that.
You sound awesome, btw...

Mine are stuck like glue on my old 6139 Bud. Any ideas?

Nice to know Michael's back in business.

Another vote for Bruce Kaphan...

I went to a 22W on all my steels when I switched from lowering 6 a whole step to raising 7 a whole step.
No complaints...I like the way it feels and sounds.

As a side note...
John Macy owns that guitar now. It was at Jim Palenscar's shop a while ago, and we all had a chance to play it a bit. Even with the deadest of strings it still had that Emmons tone. ...

Very nice...well done.
I agree, Tom's tone was best on his ZBs. He used a Mullen when we cut Sara Evans' "Three Chords And The Truth" LP, and his tone there was very close to the ZB...but ...

Really sorry to hear about this. My sincere condolences to his family & friends.
Vaya con Dios, Jim...

I switched to a wound 6th when I swapped the 6th lower for a 7th raise - whole tone.
I also think it sounds better, and I like the 7th raise more than the 6th lower.

Very, very nice.

I'm so sad to hear this. I so looked forward to seeing him, and backing him up at the Mesa show. He was always one of my favorites, and such a cool guy.
The steel world has lost another of the greats ...

I'm with Mike on this.
I would never consider doing that to my '74 fatback...no matter how heavy it is.
Personally, I'd just look around for a Loafer, or a S10.
JMHO....

Get in touch with Jim Palenscar at Steel Guitars of North County.
He had some for my SP.

A friend of mine was playing his D10 at a bar here in the San Fernando Valley. He broke a string, and when the band took a break he stayed on the stage to change it.
Meanwhile a patron at the bar - a ...
